VW Turtle River Race
B100 Presents The VW Turtle River Race.
The 17th annual VW Turtle River Race is off to a speedy start! The turtles have some very exciting prizes to race for on Saturday, September 15th, 2018 at Riverside Park Beach—including a couple of adventurous travel opportunities. They also have some important kids to race for in Western Canada Theatre’s (WCT) education and youth programming.
For Terry Lowe and the staff at Volkswagen of Kamloops have generously announced that the proceeds from the race will go to WCT Education for the eighth year in a row.
WCT Education ignites imaginations and ideas and encourages self-expression in young people aged 4 to 18. Our subsidized student matinees, Stage One Theatre School, and family shows for all ages open developing minds to new worlds and to new ways of learning.
These are programs that excite young people. Long-time Stage One Theatre School student McKenna Grice raves about experience there: “Every year, I meet new and amazing people. Stage One has boosted my confidence. The instructors are AMAZING, and I look forward to every class!”
When you buy a VW Turtle River Race ticket, you not only help us keep these important programs accessible for children and youth, but you have the chance to win big, too! There are two races, each with three incredible prize packages to be won! We cannot thank our sponsors enough for their generous contributions to make these packages so exciting:
